Hey Everyone, My name is Bernie. I'm from Port St Lousey,Fl I've had a few Mustangs in the past, I've been building VW's for the last two years. I just picked up a 1995 GT on a VW trade deal. The car is in very good condition in my opinion. There has been alot of work done to the car by the PO. What was done ??
I don' know. So I started digging around this weekend and here's what I found out so far between visable work and receipts that came with the car..
(over 4 grand in receipts)
5.0 pushrod V8 215 hp from the factory.
New purchase price was $14530.00 (GT Coupe)
Color: Canary Yellow (3,497 made)
Total Production 137,722
1- All the pollution controls have been removed. (air pump / cats /ect..)
2- BBK shorty headers
3- 2.5 " H-pipe
4- Flowmasters
5- New Radiator
6- New Borg Warner T5 trans
7- New U-Joints
8- C&L Performance Cold Air Intake
9- New idle control motor
10- New throttle body
11- A/C is not working( looks like the PO was going to have it removed)
12- Heater hoses are capped off in the engine bay
13- New air pump replacement pully
14- New serpentine belt
15-New water pump
16-New fuel pump
17- New brakes
18- New Exedy Mach 500 stage 2 clutch
Now I have to find out if any work was done to the engine. I was told the engine was rebuilt and why would you rebuild an engine and not do some upgrades?
How much additional HP would the above upgrades produce?
As I find more stuff I'll post it.
Bernie
